Recurring contribution payments that are auto-entered via PayPal IPN are not showing up in contribution searches or anywhere else, even though apparently all of the data is there and notes in CiviCRM.log indicate it was a success.

I discovered that for some reason the field contribution_type_id was not getting set and so you'd never see the contribution in the web interface, even though all of the data was in the database.  I manually set the contribution_type_id for the contribution in question and everything worked as expected.  I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like the problem might be near line #233 in PayPalIPN.php:

233 // get the contribution, contact and contributionType ids from the GET params
234 $ids['contact']           = self::retrieve( 'contactID'         , 'Integer', 'GET' , true  );
235 $ids['contribution']      = self::retrieve( 'contributionID'    , 'Integer', 'GET' , true  );

The comment says that it's setting contribution, contact, and contributionType, yet it only seems to be setting contribution and contact.

Might this be a bug?

Thanks,

Nathan

hey nathan:

can you apply the below diff to your install and check, note that the patch is for v2.1, but should apply quite easily to v2.0

In recent release we do not send the contribution type. we've been sending the contributiuon page and using that to retrieve the contribution type. i'm not sure what we were sending in 1.7
